History of the Tutu
Soundcheck | Jan 5, 2011
Earlier in the week we spoke with Jennifer Homans – the writer and former dancer whose recent book - "Apollo's Angels" - is a very thorough cultural history of ballet. After the show, we received a question on line from listener Gabby from Manhattan. She asked: “How did the tutu become the ballet "uniform"? It is a very unforgiving dress!” Jennifer Homans joins us again to tell us the tale behind the tulle.
